Extensive Measures
In 2020, Lafarge’s Uxbridge Regan Pit received OSSGA’s Biodiversity Award. This year, the 182-hectare site was honoured with a Community Relations Award for its extensive noise and dust-mitigating measures, including extensive site maintenance and the use of various technologies, natural elements and best practices to minimize disturbances.
Community Impact
The Uxbridge Regan Pit has also made an impact in its community. Recently, it donated materials and services towards the construction of the new Uxbridge Pump Track and Skate Park and helped double the size of the town’s Walker Woods Trail parking lot by donating recycled aggregate and project support. Elsewhere, the team donated granular material and cash towards the construction of two storage containers for the Goodwood Community Centre.
Before the pandemic, the Uxbridge Regan Pit hosted tours for local school groups and organizations interested in its rehabilitation work on the Oak Ridges Moraine and it hopes to do the same when pandemic conditions improve.
